Feeling warm and cozy is a self-care necessity, no matter the time of year. There’s nothing quite like curling up on the couch with an oversized blanket. There’s also nothing worse than disrupting that coziness because you must get up to answer the door, walk the dog, help your kids—the list goes on. The solution to staying cozy all the time is a wearable, adult sized blanket. Here’s why you need to add one to your at-home, stay cozy essentials!
Look for a wearable blanket with pockets if you plan on wearing it outside of the house, be it to walk the dog or for school drop off in the car. It’ll keep your hands warm, of course, but also give you a place to store your keys, wallet and other valuable items.
If you’re going to wear your blanket outside, keep an eye out for one with a hood to help you stay warm. When you’re inside, you can always lower it to stay comfortable.
If you’re using your wearable blanket while working on your computer, playing video games or activities such as cooking where you would need easy access to your hands—look for one that has elastic cuffs around the sleeves. That way you have easy access to your hands without worrying about the blanket constantly getting in the way or getting dirty!
